Dean, > Indeed, Google returns 954,000,000 pages with "etc" in it, so it seems > like plenty of people are still using it... That search does not show the number of uses of the word "etc" in the correct context, as the search also returns results for: - Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc. - ETC Group - ETC Computer - etc - university of toronto - etc...news - East Toronto Communities Newspaper - ETC - Everything To Connect - Mail Boxes Etc. Canada (which is a mail box rental group) > I would say many of those "errors" could be debatable ("username" as a > single word, for example - what's wrong with that?) Interesting point, a search of dictionary.com shows that "username" is valid, with 2 sources cited. Personally, I was fine with using "User Name". Sean |
